IONTO Soundmotion technology – the key to listening with your whole body

Relaxation And Tension Release With Vibrations From Music

Life demands a lot from us nowadays: we have to process a lot in a short space of time both in and outside of work, and we often have to perform complex tasks at a fast pace. If we’re permanently tense and don’t take the time to relax, we can become physically exhausted due to the constant release of stress hormones, which is the first sign of pot ential burn-out or depression.

Use Music To Create Harmony Within

The basis of every successful wellness concept is listening to what the body needs. The body, by nature, is a complex system made up of different rhythms: from the lightning-fast reactions of the nervous system, to your heartbeat and breathing, through to the alternation between sleeping and waking, the frequencies of bodily processes are organised according to the same harmonic principles as music. However, these rhythms, dependent on each other for harmony, are sensitive and can be disrupted.

Your body and mind adapt to the challenges life throws at you by releasing hormones and increasing pulse rate and blood pressure, as well as the supply of energy and oxygen. Every stage of tension and stress must then be followed by a period of rest and relaxation so that your body remains healthy and responsive.

Using music in treatment can work wonders for this: its rhythms and vibrations bring your body and soul back into harmonious balance.

TAPPING INTO MULTIPLE SENSES – THE CONCEPT

IONTO-Soundmotion combines music and vibrations to activate two senses in one unique, soothing experience. There are few other forms of communication that are able to express feelings and moods in a way that’s as nuanced and as pure as music. It can help us to access our emotions, with rhythm and vibrations to help us relax and rejuvenate ourselves and sounds to make us feel secure or get us ready for action. In this way, we can restore order to our body’s rhythm.

"HEAR" WITH YOUR WHOLE BODY AND BECOME MORE MINDFUL

Not only can you hear music with your ears, but you can also "feel" it on your skin and let it flow throughout your whole body. The bass, in particular, can be felt through vibrations both on your body and inside it too. IONTO-Soundmotion divides the sound spectrum and transmits the relevant parts of the music to special vibration generators, which translate sounds into vibrations and oscillation patterns, creating a brand-new musical experience.

Find The Optimal Setting

Music is transmitted to the chair via cable or Bluetooth, from an MP3 player, mobile phone or tablet, for example. The volume and intensity of the associated vibrations can then be controlled either via a control panel attached to the side of the chair or, in the case of the IONTO-SPA Evolution, via a Soundmotion APP.

There is an array of options to choose from to create an experience tailored specifically to the user. There are pieces of music already installed for you to use or you can choose any other music you like. The patterns of movement created by the vibrations and the treatment duration can be set individually, so you can tailor treatment to be relaxing, energising or harmonising, depending on what you require.

IONTO-SOUNDMOTION AND LIGHTING TAP INTO A 3RD SENSE

Coloured, pulsating light is emitted from the base of our top model, the IONTO-SPA Evolution, bathing the room in colour to transport the customer far away from everyday life. The indirect lighting intensifies the musical experience and helps create a relaxing ambiance. Tapping into the different senses in this way fosters mindfulness and opens the mind too.

→ IONTO Soundmotion technology plays music via the chair’s built-in head speakers and translates it into vibrations across the entire chair, relaxing and regenerating the body with long-lasting effects. Sound waves have a deeply relaxing effect on the muscles, autonomic nervous system and breathing. The volume of the head speakers can be adjusted so that only the customer receiving their treatment can hear the music.

→ Tactile corpuscles are like having ears within your skin and directly register low frequencies as vibrations, transmitting them straight to the brain. Muscles and other tissues absorb the vibrations and become relaxed, internal organs also begin to vibrate according to their own rhythm, and hollow ogans such as the heart turn into resonance chambers.

→ The result: sounds and vibrations merge into one incredible ensemble. The music "gets under your skin" in the truest and most beautiful sense, increasing blood flow and improving the flow of energy within the body. The customer very quickly reaches a state of deep relaxation. There are few other treatments which are so effective.

→ The stimulation of the skin and internal organs goes deep, reducing the release of stress hormones and increasing oxytocin concentrations, also known as the "love hormone". This, in turn, increases well-being and contributes to long-lasting regeneration thanks to the impact on dopamine levels, especially with repeated treatment.

RE-FIND BALANCE AND MITIGATE THE EFFECTS OF STRESS

The effects of relaxing treatment aren’t merely short-lived - they can also last longer and go deeper. Not only is music enjoyable, but it is also the most pleasurable and natural medicine for the autonomic nervous system. For example, it can harmonise the hearts of choir members, acting on the heartbeat and the emotions. It can be used to reduce the effects of stress and bring the body into a state of balance.

IONTO-SOUNDMOTION

Permanent strengthening, long-term prophylaxis

Repeated treatment with IONTO Soundmotion technology produces effects that strengthen our healthover the l ong term and can even prevent depression. In contrast to the usual focus on disease, salutogenesis involves research into factors that promote becoming and staying healthy. The concept of resilience also plays a role here, which describes the body's resistance to disruption, or more precisely its ability to deal with it. After all, it is this specific ability we have to restore our original potential after being put under strain that enables us to withstand the various challenges we face.

Find Balance More Quickly With Repeated Treatment

The ability to restore balance is something that can be trained, through meditation or treatment with IONTO-Soundmotion, for example. Not only does the body passively discover how it can get itself out of the dead end it was led into by excessive stress and back into a state of harmony, but it also learns that this process is possible and how it can be done. In the future, it will then be easier to call upon your own resources and strengths in times of great stress and feel the physical effects this can have.

Effects On Physical And Mental Health

Since stress weakens the immune system and is a cause of depression, listening to and feeling music with your whole body using IONTO-Soundmotion technology can prevent long-term health problems. If you can reduce your stress level, your immune system will be better able to fulfil its duty of fighting off threats from pathogens and your mind can remain open and expressive. IONTO-Soundmotion technology has the effect that when the customer sits on the chair, they feel instantly relaxed, their physical awareness is heightened, their autonomic nervous system becomes harmonised, their stress hormone level reduces and more oxytocin is released – all these effects work towards establishing better physical and mental health over the long term.
